Edna Street was recently resurfaced, and as the asphalt was removed, it exposed Edna Street’s past. One of the original street surfaces was exposed, the bricks that were laid down well before the advent of asphalting.

SF Planning has requested Safeway to perform a six month test of the 18 wheeler delivery route that includes the 18 wheeler exiting off 280 at Geneva, then driving North on Gennessee towards the Safeway on Monterey Blvd.
SNA submitted to the SF Planning Dept last June 2012 our position on this route. The Gennessee truck route option was overwhelmingly rejected by SNA members due to the restricted size of the Gennessee Street, that there is already the 43 Masonic MUNI bus that shares this street, and Gennessee is also the bike route for CCSF. The preferred route is 280 exit at Monterey Blvd and then reverse entry for off loading.
SNA were told:
The Planning Department and SFMTA, as well as residents who have submitted written comments, do not prefer the Monterey Boulevard loading route because it requires removal of a large section of central median in order for Safeway’s 18-wheel trucks to maneuver into oncoming traffic lanes to position themselves to reverse into the off-street loading dock.
Should use by Safeway trucks create a hazardous condition on Gennessee that can be documented by an objective third-party, the loading route would be moved to westbound Monterey Boulevard.
First Sunday of the month again: 9am – 11am. We’ll clean up Monterey Blvd from Ridgewood to the palm bed below Foerster. (But not the Safeway medians.) Meet on the south sidewalk past the Ridgewood bus stop. We have safety vests, trowels, gloves, bags and buckets. You bring your favorite digging gear. Is someone up to bringing cookies? – always appreciated!
